All Hong Kong residents to get ‘fortune bags’ containing gifts marking 25th anniversary of city’s return to Chinese rule
- Source says souvenir pack will contain vacuum mug, pen and paper fan
- Logistics arrangement expected to be similar to when authorities handed out epidemic packs
Hong Kong residents are set to receive a “fortune bag” in June containing small gifts marking the 25th anniversary of the city’s return to Chinese rule, the Post has learned.
A source familiar with the matter said authorities planned to distribute millions of the souvenir packs in mid-June, with the Home Affairs Department taking the lead.
“The pack will contain souvenirs, including a vacuum mug, a pen and a paper fan,” the source said. “The logistic arrangements of distributing the packs will be similar to those for handing out anti-epidemic packs earlier.”
Another source added the government was still finalising decisions on whether the fortune packs should be delivered to each household or through distribution points. More details would be announced in due course, the source added.
In early April, authorities for the first time distributed anti-epidemic service packs – each containing 20 rapid tests, 20 KN95 masks as well as two boxes of proprietary traditional Chinese medicine and a pamphlet – to all 3 million households citywide over seven days.
